When Steve Jobs revealed the iPad to the world in 2010, he positioned the device as something that was neither a keyboardless notebook nor an extended smartphone. Instead, it was what would be famously referred to as a “third screen” that came between a notebook and a smartphone, combining features of both and actually doing some things (such as browsing the Web and lasting longer on a single charge) better than both....
Asus CEO Shen Zhenlai (Jerry Shen) has announced that he would step down his post, and focus on the AI field. This ends his eleven year tenure with the company, one in which he was seen as the main force behind devices like the PadFone, Transformer series, the ZenBook series and of course, the Zenfone. The company’s board of directors has replaced him with two Co CEOs, Xu Xianyue (the general manager of the PC division) and Hu Shubin, who is part of the Global Customer Service team....
The Net Neutrality debate in India Just like Netflix started the Net Neutrality debate in the US, the Net Neutrality debate in India was started by a popular app as well,i.e., WhatsApp Messenger. When WhatsApp introduced the voice calling feature on its app, Airtel decided to charge for VoIP related data separately. People were furious at Airtel’s attempt to make extra money by charging for VoIP data separately and used Net Neutrality as a tool in their fight against the operator....
That was the query of the most of the non-tech media in India (and they do end up at tech events – how and why is another story for another blog, perhaps) were asking at the launch of the Jolla phone at an event in Delhi a few days ago. Some wondered if Jolla was doing something for the “handicapped” (a term regrettably still in use in this country) and whether the tall, slim, bearded person with a shrunk right arm, in a T-shirt and jeans was a representative of that initiative....

The prolific leaker in the gadget space, @evleaks posted a tweet showing the render of LG Lifeband Touch. Last year, at CES 2013, LG had announced a similar activity tracking device which never made it to the market shelves. The Lifeband Touch might actually be an improved version of the same. Right now, we don’t have much information about what this particular wearable device can do or when exactly it will be announced, but CES 2014 being just about a week away, we can safely bet about LG divulging more details at the Las Vegas trade show....
lenovo K5 Note Specifications and Price The K5 note seems like a relaunch as Lenovo had already released a phone with the same moniker long back in India. Coming to the specifications of the device, the Lenovo K5 Note comes with a 6-inch IPS display with the modern 18:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, there’s a 1.8GHz Snapdragon 450 quad-core processor along with 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of internal storage....
LG G8X ThinQ Design As already mentioned, the LG G8X ThinQ takes a dual-display approach to offer its version of a foldable smartphone. The new form factor offers a detachable case to house the G8x, which acts as a secondary display and uses a 360 Freestop Hinge to allow it to be adjusted at different viewing angles, just like a laptop. The phone is MIL-STD 810G compliant and has an IP68 dust-and-water resistant certification....
The reputed tipster further leaks that the LG Q6 will come with the same 18:9 display as found in the G6. This falls in line with Technobuffalo’s previous report which also reveals that the smartphone would have nearly 80% screen to body ratio. The LG Q6 is expected to come with a smaller 5.4-inch display. For the uninitiated, the LG G6 comes with 5.7-inch (2,880x1440p) IPS LCD panel. The alleged LG Q6 has apparently cleared FCC with the code name of M700....
LG Velvet: Design and Display In terms of design, the Velvet features what LG likes to call a Symmetrical Ellipse design and has a teardrop notch on the top for the front camera. The back of the device has a triple-camera setup, with three small circular lenses in decreasing order of their size.

The third generation of the LG L series is born with three mobile devices that boost metallic colors and integrate narrow bezels. As you’ve probably hinted, all these smartphones come with 3G connectivity and the latest version of Android 4.4 KitKat (which is a very nice treat for a phone with a modest price). Another thing we’ve observed pretty soon is that there’s very few things which set these phones apart, except of course for internal components and size....
Meizu 16T: Design and Display The Meizu 16T features an all-glass design and comes in three colors: Green, Orange, and Blue. It has a glass back on the rear and a 6.5-inch (2232 x 1080 pixels) Full HD+ Super AMOLED display. The display offers up to 600 nits of brightness and supports 100% DCI-P3 color gamut.

The M1 note was launched in China back in December 2014 for around $160, and was touted as an iPhone 5C clone by some people within the industry. Although Meizu is relatively new to the smartphone OEM space, it has managed to do quite well in China taking on the biggies like Xiaomi, Huawei and Lenovo. They follow similar business strategy as Xiaomi, by pricing their products competitively and cutting down the costs on marketing by taking the social media and forum routes....
The Meizu 16X has a 6-inch 1080p screen on the front but unlike what you would expect from a phone in this price range, it’s an OLED panel instead of LCD. Underneath, the phone runs on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 octa-core chipset coupled with 6GB of RAM, 3100mAh battery that does support quick charging, and either 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage. Out of the box, you get Android 8....
The new browser comes with web extensions, so, for example, Chrome extensions can be modified with little code to be used on Edge. Developers will probably know why Microsoft opted fir the Edge brand as Microsoft has used the same for the new rendering engine (EdgeHTML) that is present in its Windows 10 browser. Edge will be pre-loaded on all Windows 10 devices and Joe Belfiore referred to the name as “being on the edge of consuming and creating....
The Moleskin Smart Planner is bundled with a Livescribe pen which has sensors in it and reads your handwriting. Considering that you have made the entry against a date, the smart planner recognizes the same and then syncs the appointment to Google Calendar. Eventually one can sync the same to iCloud and Outlook. Moleskin SmartPlanner is pricey indeed at $199 and the, replacement costs $29/year for a new planner. In case you don’t want to invest on a physical planner you can buy a Livescribe pen separately for $179 and pair it with compatible books that usually end up costing less than $20....
